blows the NRA’s argument out of the water doesn’t it
After a long, dark history of mass shootings in the US I’ve concluded there is absolutely no point in arguing or debating with the Pro-Gun lobby, none, zero, zilch point.
The reason is they won’t tell the truth, it’s a fight to them – others want to take away their ability to make money from pain, suffering and death that’s it and they’ll say anything to try to sell the idea that it’s not a sort of collective insanity that allows this sort of thing to keep happening.
The truth is there are very few reason why a personal or organisation wouldn’t want more gun control:
1) I make lots of money from guns, I want to keep doing so.
2) I am mentally deficient and scared because I fear the unknown and the ‘bad guys’ my chosen media outlet tells me about. The feeling of power I get from my guns makes me happy, I don’t want to feel scared again.
3) I like to make holes in things further than my reach, either targets or animals I may or may not eat afterwards. I’d never dream of using it on another human unless I really really had to, which is unlikely as I keep this dangerous weapon kept locked away as I know it’s more dangerous for me to have it to hand, than not.
Sadly the 3s are very rare, and usually the most likely to accept that machine guns have no place off the battlefield and usually have no issue with control as long as they can keep their hunting rifle or target pistol.
You can’t argue with liars unless you’re prepared to call them such – there’s no point reasoning their arguement is false – because they lll just think of another lie.
